malika henderson is a political reporter from the washington post. robert costa is a political reporter for national review. malika, let me start with you. is this a diversion to take attention away from bain where that issue appears to have gathered traction in the last couple of weeks? >> it's certainly turned out to be. we're talking about this story that the romney campaign drew lots of suspicion from folks here in washington and skepticism. so it only seems this is a way to divert attention from what everyone has been talking about this week, bain revelations, mitt romney's tax returns. so it certainly has worked out that way, too. i think another point to be made is here was a week where mitt romney went before the national association of colored people and was booed and in some ways it's not necessarily coincidental that days later, he comes out with a story or his campaign comes out with a story where it seems to be that they are vetting very high-profile african-american and in some ways sending the signal that the republican party is an inc

we were down there in washington today. it's just one of many strange things that have happened and surreal to watch. knowing the history of the two of them. knowing how much, you know, all the things that president obama has said about donald trump, all the things donald trump has said about barack obama. but i am consistently impressed over the course of eight years to the extent to which barack obama is committed to preserving democratic norms in this country. his handling of this meeting, and we can talk about trump's handling of it too, but the president for a moment, a real testament to how much he cares and takes seriously the motion that the transfer of power should not just be peaceful, but should be smooth and i think he genuinely means it. a lot of things about donald trump he doesn't like, but he's now the president-elect and he feels that everyone should be rooting for donald trump's success. >> hats off to president obama today. his statement yesterday was in the same spirit. it's a requirement to the office,
